Here are a few fashion essentials all modern men should be aware of. Many of them are not even about fashion but help you look the part. This will be good news for the army of men out there not wanting to follow fashion but still wanting to impress.

Improve your posture

Perhaps the biggest fashion tip of all has nothing to do with fashion itself. It’s about improving your posture when you walk, when you stand and when you sit. An army of office workers today slouch at their desk and walk like their grandparents.

Stand straight, pull back your shoulders, push that ribcage out and look straight ahead, not down to the ground. You will exude confidence and for a man, this is worth much more than what the most expensive suit can achieve and is what makes you manly in the eyes of women: confidence to tackle all of life’s difficulty, confidence in your ability to overcome adversity.

Look after your clothes and they will look after you

To store your shirts and suits in better conditions and for longer, use wide and stout coat-hangers. Thin metal hangers leave creases and sometimes stain the fabric. With heavy suits, they even get bent. Wide and rounded plastic hangers are cheap and do the job just fine, no need to go for the more expensive wooden hanger.

Learn how to repair a button. Man is in the 21st century and many live alone. There is no point in relying on a woman to do something as simple as that. In fact, it makes you look manlier in that you do not shy away from manipulating something as insignificant and small as a needle and helps you ascertain your independence.

And the unavoidable fashion tips

It is OK to have a few mismatched items of menswear. Men are men, they do not have handbags that need to match shoes, gloves that need to match scarfs and hats, matching earring and necklace sets and so on. So if you wear a brown belt and dark brown shoes with black trousers, it’s not the end of the world as long as your clothes look smart and clean. Don’t stress unduly about colour coordination.

Since when was a denim shirt a proper shirt? Leave them alone or if you really love denim, at least don’t wear them together will denim jeans. Denim shirts are best worn over a t-shirt or vest when the weather is neither warm nor cold enough to warrant a sweater or jacket.

Wear your clothes with pride and care. No more hanging trousers (since when was that fashionable?), no ties askew, shirts-sleeves buttoned up, shoes well-polished.

To carry on the topic of hanging trousers, underwear is just that – best kept under clothes so please, no trousers hanging half-way down the bum, no designer-branded underwear elastic band showing above the trouser belt. No guy wants to know what underwear brand you favour.

Use these fashion essentials in your everyday life without becoming a fashion slave. Improve your posture and watch your physical and psychological well-being improve, not to mention your success with women. Focus not on colour coordination but watch that what you wear is smart and wear proudly.

One of the hardest things that women have to deal with is fashion or style. One of the biggest problems that women face when it comes to fashion and style is that they feel that they do not have a good sense of fashion. Women who feel this way tend to think that no matter what clothes they pick out they are not going to be in fashion. If you are one of these women there are many easy fashion tips hat you can follow to help stay in fashion.

One of the first things that you need to do is to quit thinking about the word fashion, it does not mean anything to your wardrobe. Instead you want to think of the term style because that will make picking out clothes easier. The reason for this is that fashion is a very intimidating word, but style is not. When people think of style they tend to think of things that are wearable, rather than clothes that look better hanging on a rack than on a person.

Something else to keep in mind is that even if you are going to be sitting around the house you want to make some kind of an effort to get dressed each day. When you go to get dressed for the day you want to put on something a bit more dressier than sweats and a t-shirt, no mater how comfortable you feel in them. When you go to get dressed you want to get dressed as if you were going out for the day because it will help improve your attitude.

One of the most productive things that you can do to help get yourself out of a fashion rut is to clean out your closet. To clean out your closet you want to go through every piece of clothing that you own and get rid of anything that is outdated. You will also want to get rid of any clothes that are tattered, look frumpy or just do not make you feel good about your looks. By getting rid of all of these old clothes you are making room for your new clothes that will help you feel better about yourself.

Perhaps on of the most important things that you need to remember is that you want to treat your wardrobe like an investment. You want to purchase items that are going to last awhile, otherwise known as classic items. You also want to fill your closet with clothing that you cannot live without instead of clothing that you bought because you could not find anything better.

Fashion tips are easy to come by if you’re 5’8″, have a model figure, and can regularly drop five figures on clothes. But if you aren’t, don’t, and can’t, following fashion can be a bit of a challenge.

So what’s a fashion lover to do?

Learn how to dress yourself!

Here’s how:

1. Determine Your Body Shape

There are four primary body shapes: top heavy, bottom heavy, no waist, and hour glass. Each shape has clothes that look terrific on it, each has styles that don’t look so great. Match the clothes shape to the body shape, and you’re sure to have success.

2. Know Your Best Colors

Have you ever noticed that some brides look great in white while others look better in ivory? It’s because of the blue or yellow undertones in the skin, and it can vary from person, even within families. Find the colors that look best on you, and you’ll always look great.

3. Understand Your Clothing Personality

Some women love classics. Others prefer dramatic. Some like sporty. Others go for romantic. If you have clothes in your closet that you haven’t worn because they’re not “you,” chances are, you bought styles that didn’t fit your clothing personality. Match your clothes to your clothing personality and you’ll wear everything you buy.

4. Know Your Lifestyle

Have you ever had to turn down an invitation because you literally had “nothing to wear?” If so, that means you have gaping holes in your wardrobe. You’ve funneled all your clothing allowance to one or two of your primary activities, so when something unexpected comes up, you have nothing to wear. If you build a well-rounded wardrobe, you’ll always be in style.

As we move from the warmer summer into autumn, deciding what to wear in the mornings can take a little more thought. Whilst in the summer it is easy to just throw on a pretty dress and pair of sandals, the autumn requires consideration on which pieces of ladies fashion will not only look stylish and on trend but will also provide the right amount of warmth but not be too warm when in a centrally heated building. There is also the need to co ordinate trousers, skirts, tops, tights, shoes and accessories with outdoor wear in order to look great both indoors and outdoors. Here are ten top women’s fashion tips for autumn.

1. Pick out the styles to suit your body shape

Each season there will be a range ladies fashion to suit all body shapes. The trick to looking really stylish is to pick out the key dress, trousers, skirts and jacket styles to suit your body shapes. There are plenty of articles and books which can give you ideas on which body shape you have and which styles will look best on you.

2. Look for beautiful autumnal colours

Autumn is definitely all about rich colours and deep tones. If you usually wear black think about navy instead. Not only is it really on trend and just as slimming as black but it is also less harsh and draining than black. Also look for clothes in camel which is an incredibly flattering colour and try combining with rusts, brown, black or reds.

3. Add some texture

Thick autumn clothes are particularly good for adding texture to outfits. Trying adding interest to a monochrome outfit by combining ladies fashions with different textures. Chunky knitwear, lace and velvet are all great ways of adding some texture to an outfit.

4. Choose a versatile coat

With the weather getting colder, a great coat is a vital part of any autumn wardrobe. By choosing a versatile colour and style, you can ensure that you coat goes with all sorts of different women’s fashion outfits. Investing in a well made coat means that it will last you for many years to come.

5. Invest in a great pair of boots

Another important piece of outdoor wear, a pair of winter boots will look great with lots of different outfits and also keep your feet stylishly warm and dry throughout the autumn and into the winter.

6. Layer your women’s fashion

Layering is not only a great way to keep warm and also adapt your outfit to the warmer temperatures inside, it is also very stylish and a key part of ladies fashions for autumn. Choose thin women’s clothing to avoid the layers looking too bulky and think carefully about the colour, texture, length, necklines and sleeves of each layer and how they will work together.

7. Make a statement with tights

Over the last few years statement tights have become increasingly popular. Wear women’s fashion tights in bright colours and patterns for a fun and stylish autumn look.

8. Balance the outfit

Which ever clothes and accessories you choose to wear, make sure that you consider the finished look to ensure that it is well balanced. Too much bulk, colour or pattern can be overpowering.

9. Accessories

Choose your accessories carefully. Scarves make great autumn accessories as not only do they give a bit of warmth but they also add colour pattern and texture. Belts are also great for adding shape to loose fitting clothes and defining the waist.

10. Pick and choose the trends to suit you

There are so many different ladies fashions available this autumn, there is definitely something to suit everyone. Pick and choose the trends that suit you in terms of your body shape, colouring, lifestyle and personality.
